The 2013 Lory Meagher Cup is the fifth edition of the Lory Meagher Cup since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 2009 and is the fourth-tier of Hurling for senior county teams (the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship is the first-tier trophy). It is contested by four GAA county teams ranked 30–33 in the 2013 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship.

Warwickshire, Longford, Leitrim and Fermanagh contested the 2013 competition. Tyrone were the defending champions, having won the 2012 competition, but were unable to defend their title as they were promoted to the Nicky Rackard Cup as a result of their victory. Warwickshire won the 2013 competition.[1]
